Vascular dementia (VD) may arise as a sequel to any form of cerebrovascular disease. Since only some patients with cerebrovascular disease will eventually develop dementia, we studied the morphological and clinical findings associated with dementia in cerebrovascular patients. The relationship between these factors and the dementia syndrome was evaluated in 25 patients with VD, and 68 non demented subjects with a history of cerebral ischemic attacks. We found that VD was significantly associated with white matter lesions and atrophy on CT-scan, and a high prevalence of frontal lobe symptoms and signs.
血管性痴呆（VD）可能是任何形式脑血管疾病的后遗症。由于只有部分脑血管疾病患者最终会发展为痴呆，我们研究了脑血管疾病患者中与痴呆相关的形态学和临床发现。对25例血管性痴呆患者和68例有脑缺血发作史的非痴呆受试者评估了这些因素与痴呆综合征之间的关系。我们发现，血管性痴呆与CT扫描显示的白质病变和萎缩显著相关，且额叶症状和体征的发生率很高。
